I looked into this when redoing my kitchen two years ago, and while
there are companies out there that can do a terrific job, you'll
discover two things: (1) the resurfacing does not last nearly as long
as the original, and (2) it's hugely expensive.
- It is less expensive to go to your local plumbing supply house or
big
- box store and buy a top-of-the-line brand new sink than it is to pay
a

- reality.
You did notice that the OP included a bathtub in her post, didn't you?
While I'm not saying she should have it resurfaced, replacing a tub is
a bit more of a project than replacing a kitchen sink.
